do you guys realize the implications of what the anti-terrorisn (which passed in senate) are? well say good-bye to american freedom. Basically, this bill allows the government to do what they want... it's a bill that has so many generalities that can be altered to fit specific instances. so basically it allows them to do what they want, and then justify it by saying, "it falls under the anti-terrorism act" it will allow the gov't to read emails, allow the FBI to run carnivore legally, monitor all messaging services, the list goes on and on. plus there are so many things that can be added because of the vagueness of the bill. the reason they did it that way is so that they wouldn't have to vote on bills everytime a new security issue comes up.... nice thought in theory, but it makes the bill way to powerful and possibly unconstitution... sadly, the supreme court will never block it... cause most of america supports it, due solely to lack of understanding.
